NPM RECOVERY · SAME EVIDENCE · ZERO RUNTIME DELTA

Keep the record.
Move only forward.

The 0.16.20 GitHub release remains immutable after npm rejected its trusted-publishing signing certificate. This patch retries the same corrected 0.21.4 result without changing the framework.

AI EVIDENCE NPM RECOVERY

Preserve every byte.
Retry only publication.

IMMUTABILITY

No moved tag

The public v0.16.19 and v0.16.20 tags remain unchanged and directly inspectable.

PUBLICATION

Forward-only retry

Core 0.16.21 and generator 0.1.146 use new package versions rather than reused coordinates.

GATE

Still blocked

The failed 0.21.4 success-and-cost decision is unchanged and does not authorize 1.0.

SCOPE

Metadata only

No compiler, runtime, public API, dependency, generated behavior, or browser byte changes.

UPGRADE

Install the recovery release.

$npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.16.21
